ik khushi ke badle aath pahar

ek taraf mohabbat roti hai
ek taraf se nare aate hai

hum gate hai shikwe unke
wo mitti ke gun gate hai
hum tumse milne ko pritam
o mitti ko gale lagate hai
Day #44, Song #132
Meri jaisi nahin milegi
We started taking up songs of the 1950 DN Madhok and Ram Kamlani movie Khamosh Sipahi starring Sohan Lala and Nigar Sultana.
If Hansraj Behl composed the songs, you can expect some Punjabi flavour to them.
Imagine having Punjabi flavour in a duet sung by Geeta Dutt and Mohammad Rafi.
Please enjoy: Meri jaisi nahin milegi…
o mere jaisi nahi milegi
ho mere jaisi nahi milegi
bholi bhali naar
pade rahe sasua ke ghar me
liya jiya ko maar
o biti jaye jawani meri
biti jaye jawani meri
le chal jamuna par, bada sukh dungi
davedar teri rahungi, jab tak jiungi mai
davedar teri rahungi, jab tak jiungi mai
o mere jaisa nahi milega
hoye mere jaisa nahi milega
dhund le dunia sari
shyam mera jane hai mujhko
tumse ulfat bhari
biti jaye jawani meri
biti jaye jawani meri
mithi najar dikha de, bada sukh dunga mai
gore gore mukh ki, balaye lunga mai
hoye gore gore mukh ki, balaye lunga mai
dil dukhe to kaleja dhadke
dil dukhe to kaleja dhadke
haye mai mar gayi
ang ang mera fadke mai kit jau re
aaja kisi bahane, tujhe bulau re
aaja kisi bahane, tujhe bulau re
hoye aaja
Day #45, Song #133
Yaad aane wale phir yaad aa rahe hain
After making the successful movie Rattan in 1944, M Sadiq directed Anmol Rattan in 1950.
Once again, DN Madhok wrote all the songs. However, instead of Naushad (who was now paired with Shakeel Badayuni), Vinod composed the songs.
The cast included Karan Dewan who was the lead cast in Rattan too. Instead of Swaran Lata, Meena Kumari was chosen together with Madan Puri, Gope, Gulab and Nirmala.
Vinod should have been credited for giving a break to Talat Mahmood first. However, Arzoo was released before Anmol Rattan and hence the first song of Talat happened to be credited to Anil Biswas: Ai dil mujhe aisi jagah le chal.
Vinod composed the following songs:
1. Shikavaa Teraa Main Gaaun Talat Mahmood, Lata Mangeshkar
2. Dard Mila Hai Tere Pyar Ki Nishani Lata Mangeshkar
3. Taare Vohi Hain Chaand Vohi Hai Lata Mangeshkar
4. Mere Ghunghat Me Do Nain Pukare Lata Mangeshkar
5. Laakho Me Ek Hamare Saiya Haye
6. Koi Kah Do Balamua Se Uth Nahi Jaye
7. Yaad Aane Wale Phir Yaad Aa Rahe Hai Lata Mangeshkar, Talat Mahmood
8. Sajan Aaye Aadhi Raat Lata Mangeshkar
9. Jab Kisi Ke Rukh Pe Zulfe Aa Ke Lehrane Lagi Talat Mahmood
10. Kale Kale Badalo Me Pani Asha Bhosle
11. More Dwar Khule Hai Aane Wale Kab Aaoge Lata Mangeshkar
Here is the best song of the movie sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Talat Mahmood.
Please enjoy: Yaad aane wale phir yaad aa rahe hain…
yaad aane wale phir yad aa rahe hai
yaad aane wale phir yad aa rahe hai
mere khyalo ki dunia pe
chaye ja rahe hai phir yad aa rahe hai
yad aane wale phir yad aa rahe hai
hum bhi chup hai wo bhi chup hai pyar khada msukaata hai
hum bhi chup hai wo bhi chup hai pyar khada msukaata hai
nain mile sharmaau nain ki or jiya ghabrata hai
nain mile sharmaau nain ki or jiya ghabrata hai
maujo ki rate umango ke din bite ja rate hai
phir yad aa rahe hai yad aane wale phir yad aa rahe hai
mast alag si nigaho wale hum par ek ehsan kiye ja
mast alag si nigaho wale hum par ek ehsan kiye ja
mitha mitha dard suhana
mitha mitha dard suhana dene waale aur diye ja
jholi meri bhar de tere dar pe sar jhuka rhe hai
phir yad aa rahe hai
Day #45, Song #134
Shikwa tera main gaayun
We are taking up songs of the 1950 M Sadiq movie Anmol Ratan starring Karan Dewan and Meena Kumari; all songs having been composed by Vinod on the lyrics of DN Madhok.
Who was Vinod? Well, he was born on 28 May 1922 and died on 25 Dec 1959 at the age of just 37 years. He was a student of Pandit Amar Nath whom I had introduced you earlier particularly with his find Zeenat Begum who was a Kothewali.
With his Punjabi background (born in Lahore), his Punjabi songs became popular; for example Larra lappa larra lappa layi rakhda from 1949 movie Ek Thi Ladaki. Another song that comes to mind is Saari saari raat tera tak ni aa raah.
I am ready to give you another duet between Lata Mangeshkar and Talat Mahmood.
Please enjoy: Shikwa tera main gaayun…
shikava tera mai gaaun dil me samane vale
bhoole se yaad kar le o bhool jane vale
shikava tera
ai aah mera bhed kahin khol na dena
ai aah mera bhed kahin khol na dena
hum ko hai unse pyar kahin bol na dena
hum bhi hain zid ke poore zid ke nibhane vale
pi jayege ansu bhi hum le rulane vale, shikava tera
shikava tera mai gaaun dil me samane vale
bhoole se yaad kar le o bhool jane vale
shikava tera
mar jaye hum aap hume yaad karoge
mar jaye hum aap hume yaad karoge
roge phoot phoot kar fariyaad karoge
dhundhege phir sahara ansu bahane vale
ayege nahin ja ke duniya se jane vale, shikava tera
shikava tera mai gaaun dil me samane vale
bhoole se yaad kar le o bhool jane vale
shikava tera

Koi kah do balamua se uti nahin jaaye
And the last song for tonight is also from the 1950 M Sadiq movie Anmol Ratan starring Karan Dewan and Meena Kumari.

koi kah do balmva se uti nahi jaye
koi kah do balmva se uti nahi jaye
jit jayike more tan aag lagaye

sabnam ke motiyo me kali jhum rahi ho
meri najar ke samne najara wahi ho
nayno me nayna dal piya muskaye haye
nayno me nayna dal piya muskaye
koi kah do balmva se uti nahi jaye
koi kah do balmva se uti nahi jaye
Day #46, Song #136
Beimaan tore nainawa
We start today with the 1951 Ram Daryani movie Tarana. Everyone knows that that was the first movie when Dilip Kumar and Madhubala acted together.
Anil Biswas, who got Talat Mahmood to sing his first ever song in Hindi movies: Ai dil mujhe aisi jagah le chal, composed songs for this movie too.
The best song of the movie wasn’t penned by DN Madhok but by Prem Dhawan: Seene mein sulagate hain armaan.
DN Madhok wrote five songs for the movie as follows:
1. Bol papihe bol re.
2. Beimaan tore nainawa.
3. Kya khabar thi wo din kahan gaye bata?
4. Mose rooth gayo mora saawariya.
5. Youn chhup chhup ke mera aana.

Please enjoy: Beimaan tore nainawa…
beimaan tore nainwa, nindiya na aaye

raat jaaye palak tose jhapki na jaaye
raat jaaye palak tose jhapki na jaaye
beimaan tore nainwa, nindiya na aaye
beimaan tore nainwa, nindiya na aaye
aadhe soye aadhe jaage

jaise man mein bharam ek aaye ek jaaye
beimaan tore nainwa, nindiya na aaye

Day #46, Song #137
Kya khabar thi wo din kahan gaye bata
We entered the year 1951; the 21st year in the career of DN Madhok as a lyricist.
This was the first movie of Dilip Kumar with Madhubala which resulted in reel and real love story until Madhubala’s father stepped in to block the real life one mainly because if Madhubala was to get married, the family would lose a bread-winner!
Out of nine songs composed by Anil Biswas for the movie, DN Madhok wrote five; the others were penned by Prem Dhawan and Kaifi Irfani. The best song of the movie Seene mein sulagate hain armaan was penned by Prem Dhawan.
Here is the second song from the same movie; this too by Lata Mangeshkar.
Please enjoy: Kya khabar thi wo din kahan gaye bata…
kya khabar thi ke mohabbat me ye din aate hai
jise hum apna banate hai, wo tadapate hai
wo din kahan gaye bata
wo din kahan gaye bata
jab is nazar me pyar tha, pyar tha
wo din kahan gaye bata
maine to kuch kaha nahi
jo yu nigahe pher li
maine to kuch kaha nahi
wo raat yaad hai yahi, kissa hua tha pyar ka
wo din kahan gaye bata
wo din kahan gaye bata
aankho me nind thi magar
soye nahi the raat bhar
aankho me nind thi magar
soye nahi the raat bhar
dil ko laga hua tha dar
haye savera ho gaya
wo din kahan gaye bata
wo din kahan gaye bata
jab is nazar me pyar tha, pyar tha
wo din kahan gaye bata

bade pyare suhane hai rang sham ke

किस ने देखि तेरी सूरत, कौन बनावे तेरी मूरत ।
तू है निराकार भगवान, बना मन मंदिर आलीशान ॥
पर्वत घाटी नदी समंदर, तू रमता इन सब के अन्दर ।
तेरे बस में सकल जहान, बना मन मंदिर आलीशान ॥
तू हैं वन में, तो प्राणन में तू तरु तरु के पातन में ।
कोई ना दूजा तेरे सामान, बना मन मंदिर आलीशान ॥
जल में थल में तू ही समाया, सब जग तेरा जलवा छाया ।
तू है, घट घट के दरमियान, बना मन मंदिर आलीशान ॥
तू राजा को रंक बनाता, तू भिक्षुक तो तखत बिठाता ।
तेरी लीला इश महान, बना मन मंदिर आलीशान ॥
सूरज तेरी महिमा गावे, चंदा तुझ पर बलि बलि जावे ।
इश्वर कर सब का कल्याण, बना मन मंदिर आलीशान ॥

Parwano se prit sikh le
Ehsan was his next movie in 1954. It was a Rajendra Sharma movie starring Shammi Kapoor, Munawar Sultana, Gulab, K N Singh, Prithviraj Kapoor, and Roopmala.
Madan Mohan composed seven songs for the movie. Kaif Irafni wrote three and DN Madhok wrote four:
1. Ik baar keh de sajan tu mera ho gaya.
2. Bairi hai bedard zamana.
3. Mera banka balamwa laakhon mein ek.
4. Mera bas hove suhaag ki rekha.
We shall skip all.
Bilwamangal was his next movie in 1954.

parwano se preet sikh le
shama se sikhe jal jana
phir duniya ko yaad rahega

phir duniya ko yaad rahega

mai teri khoj me gaaungi
mai teri khoj me gaaungi
yahi aas lekar hai jeena
isi aas me mar jana
phir duniya ko yaad rahega
phir duniya ko yaad rahega
tera mera afsana

Panghat pe more Shyam bajaye muraliya
We are taking up songs of the 1954 movie Ehsan directed by Dn Madhok himself and starring CH Atma and Suraiya; both of whom sang for themselves as composed by Bulo C Rani.
One thing that I hope you noticed about DN Madhok that he maintained the quality of his lyrics all the way from 1932 on to his 98th movie in 1954, the 23rd year of his career. This cannot be said, for example, of Indeevar who gave us some memorable songs but then decided to wrote trash for Bappi Lahiri in 72 movies having about 500 songs; given in to lucre rather than to greatness.
Let me end today by now giving you a song by CH Atma.
Please enjoy: Panghat pe more Shyam bajaye muraliya…
panghat pe more shyam bajaye muraliya
panghat pe more shyam bajaye muraliya
jal jamuna
jal jamuna pag chuman aaye
jal jamuna pag chuman aaye
pawan chalat ithlaye
pawan chalat ithlaye
ithlaye ithlaye
kaliyo ne bhware se puchha
kaliyo ne bhware se puchha
kaun hai ye man chhaliya
kaun hai ye man chhaliya
bajaye muraliya
panghat pe more shyam bajaye muraliya
murli baji ban ki kaya sab sunne ko bhagi
sun kar kaliya
sun kar kaliya bhor se pahle apne biya se jaagi
yahi raat hai
yahi raat hai jab radha ki shaam se ankhiya laagi
bholi bhali
bholi bhali brij nari ka man har lino chhaliya
bajaye muraliya
panghat pe more shyam bajaye muraliya
bajaye muraliya

Ye raat din ka phera
Yesterday, we took up two songs of the 1954 movie Bilwamangal; one each by Suraiya and CH Atma; both of them being the lead cast of the movie directed by DN Madhok.
Before we move on to the next movie, lets take another song from CH Atma or Atma Hashmatrai Chainani. He was born in 1923 in Hyderabad (Sind), now in Pakistan. He died on 06 Dec 1975.
His song of 1945 Preetam aan milo was sung by Geeta Dutt on the composition of OP Nayyar in her husband Guru Dutt’s movie Mr & Mrs 55.
Please enjoy: Ye raat din ka phera…
Din ne jaate jaate
Mujhko raat ke haath kiya
Bhor bhayi aur jhaad chadariya
Raat ne kuchh kiya
Phir pahre par suraj aayaa
Phir wohi din ke phere
Pahredaar badalte jaayen
Bandh na chhute mere
Ye raat din ka phera
Ye raat din ka phera
Laga rahega
Jab tak na kuchh hoga
Yaha se tera
Ye raat din ka phera
Subah guzar gayi hai
Aur shaam jaa rahi hai
Subah guzar gayi hai
Aur shaam jaa rahi hai
Murakh sambhal ke dar pe
Wo raat aa rahi hai
Is raat ka jeewan mein
Kabhi hoga naa sawera
Is raat ka jeewan mein
Kabhi hoga naa sawera
Ye raat din ka phera
Maaya ke laade sar pe
Dhar ke kaha chala hai
Maaya ke laade sar pe
Dhar ke kaha chala hai
Aur moh jholiyon mein
Bhar ke kaha chala hai
Manzil hai dur teri
Kadam dagmagaaye tera
Ye raat din ka phera
Laga rahega
Jab tak na kuchh hoga
Yaha se tera
Ye raat din ka phera.

Duniya banane wale ne jab chand
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today, with a heavy heart, I shall bring you to the last of the songs of Deena Nath Madhok who was amongst the first generation of Lyricists in India together with Kavi Pradeep and Kidar Sharma.
He started his professional tenure as lyricist with the 1932 movie Radhey Shyam soon after the first talkie was released in India: Alam Ara in 1931.
He wrote over 800 songs in over 100 movies and very painstakingly I have tried to find as many of his songs as possible.
It is lyricists like DN Madhok who blazed the trail for all others who followed him.
In addition to lyrics, he directed 19 movies and even wrote screenplays. We have taken songs of a few of the movies directed by him and the last such movie was the 1954 movie Bilwamangal. There was one more movie that he directed after that: Naata in 1955 starring Masdhubala and Chanchal. However, the lyrics were by Tanveer Naqvi.
Tasveer was the second last movie of his life. This 1966 movie was directed by JBH Wadia and starred Feroz Khan, Kalpana, Helen, Sajjan, Rajendra Nath, Nazir Hasain, Leela Mishra, Raj Mehra, Lalita Pawar, and Sabeena.
Chitalkar Ramchandra composed the following songs, all written by DN Madhok:
1. Duniya Banane Wale Ne Jab Chand Banaya Mahendra Kapoor
2. Mai Teri Dil Tera Re Mitwa Asha Bhosle
3. Nazar Badli Zamane Ki Mahendra Kapoor
4. Mere Sulagte Huye Dil Ko Magar Asha Bhosle
5. Chale Kaha Ho Meri Dhadkane Badha Ke Mahendra Kapoor, Suman Kalyanpur
6. Dene Wala Do Dil Deta Mahendra Kapoor
7. Samjhoge Tum Kya Bhala Asha Bhosle
8. Tasveer Bhi Dekhi Thi Mahendra Kapoor
We shall be taking up the first two songs.
To start with, here is the song sung so beautifully by Mahendra Kapoor.
Please enjoy: Duniya banane waale ne jab chand banaya…
duniya banane wale ne duniya banane wale ne
jab chand banaya
aur pani me ek raat padi uski jo chaya
ek banwara panchi ye pukar utha
haye ye nur ke sanche me dala kaun haye
itrake chand jake badlo me chup gaya
rone laga chakor se haye ye kya hua
fir sokhiye ne chand ke vo kaan bhar diye
ye bepalak gurur ne ghatna shuru kiye
ek raat aisi aayi ke gayab vo ho gaye
fitne jaga ke aap kahin jakr so gaye
us raat jo roya hai chakora
harsay bhari pe sote huye ko jaga diya
raham aa gaya rahim ko aur usne pukara
are ja mere parinde teri bigdi ko sanwara
ye ishq hai khota tu jamin par vo arsh par
rota rahega waqt ki gadiyo ko umar bhar
ja teri dhadkan ne hame hame mom kiya hai
hamne jamin ka chand hamne jamin ka chand
tujhe bejh diya hai tujhe bejh diya hai
Day #52, Song #155
Main teri dil tera hai mitwa
In 52 days, covering DN Madhok’s career from 1932 Radhey Shyam to 1969 movie Samay Bada Balwan, I would have given you 156 of his gems.
As you would have listened to the last song from the 1967 movie Tasveer: Duniya banane wale ne jab chand banaya, you would have surely noticed the excellence of the lyrics in the 36th year of his career as lyricist. That’s the hallmark of a great lyricist.
Lets take up the second promised song from Tasveer, a JBH Wadia movie starring Feroze Khan and Kalpana (Padmini’s sister).
This was sung by Asha Bhosle.
Please enjoy: Main teri dil tera hai mitwa…
mai teri dil tera re mitva
jaan bhi mango du
are re fir aur se fiki aakul
are re fir aur se fiki aakul
mai teri dil tera re mitva
jaan bhi mango du
are re fir aur se fiki aakul
are re fir aur se fiki aakul
ek baar mera dil lekar apne dil me rakh lo
kya hoti hai pyar ki dhadkan
sajan aap parkh lo sajan aap parkh lo
har dhadkna jab yehi pukare
meet mai teri hu
are re fir aur se fiki aakul
are re fir aur se fiki aakul
jag ka chalan ye hi hai mitva
vo dekhe ki preet
aankh ke aansu man se ojhal
ye hi aaj ki reet ye hi aaj ki reet
badte jaye reham hamare
raat ghate jyu jyu
are re fir aur se fiki aakul
are re fir aur se fiki aakul
mai teri dil tera re mitva
jaan bhi mango du
are re fir aur se fiki aakul
are re fir aur se fiki aakul
Day #52, Song #156
Teri tasveer se aankhon mein
And now for the last movie of DN Madhok as a lyricist: the 1969 movie Samay Bada Balwan that we are all relearning now because of COVID 19.
With this the 38 years of career of Hindi movies first generation lyricist comes to an end. He died on 09 Jul 1982, 13 years after his last movie, in Hyderabad, at the age of 79.
Samay Bada Balwan was produced and directed by Sohrab Modi and starred Sohrab Modi, Mehtab, Aruna Irani, Sailesh Kumar and Shahida.
The onus of composing the last songs of DN Madhok fell on Usha Khanna and she did a good job of composing the following penned by him:
1 “Teri Tasveer Se Aankhen Meri Kyun Hatati Nahi” Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle
2 “Bhoole Afsane Phir Se Yaad Aaye” Mohammed Rafi
3 “Yun Na Dekho Hame Pyar Aayega” Asha Bhosle
4 “Rooth Kar Tum Bhala Yun Kahan” Asha Bhosle
5 “Dil Me Dhadkan Lab Par Haye” Usha Khanna,Hemlata
6 “Dekho Chhalla Mila Nishani” Krishna Kalle
7 “Ek Do Teen Ye Mehjabin” Mohammed Rafi
8 “Waqt Zalim Hai Kisiko Nahin Chhoda Isne” Mohammed Rafi
With these, he completed writing 880 songs for 111 movies. The actual number may differ from the official one because there were a few movies wherein I couldn’t make out the actual distinction of songs between him and co-lyricists.
We shall be taking up the first one sung most beautifully by Mohammad Rafi and Asha Bhosle.
Please enjoy: Teri tasveer se aankhen meri kyun hatati nahin…
teri tasveer se aakhe meri kyo hatti nhi
teri tasveer se aakhe meri kyo hatti nhi
sochta hu ise kahte na ho pyar khi haye
miti si hai besharmiya or chain nhi
sochta hu ise kahte na ho pyar khi haye
miti si hai besarmiya or chen nhi
din gujar jaye yuhi raat bhi kat jaye yu
jee yhi chahe sur me tere beti rhu
bekrari me hi ab mujhko karar aata hai
chen kahte hai jise mere liye chen nhi
teri tasveer se aakhe meri kyo hatti nhi
agar yhi pyar hai to is pyar pe pyar aaye hame
or tadpaye hame or bhi tadpaye hame
dil ye kahta hai mhobbat ka ye dastur nhi
teri becheniya tham jaye ye manjur nhi
teri tasveer se aakhe meri kyo hatti nhi
I hope you liked all 156 songs out of 880 songs of 111 movies that I consider as the best of DN Madhok who was among the first generation of lyricists in Hindi movies.
Please await our 12th Lyricist: Kidar Sharma.
The next one was composed by Khemchand Prakash and KL Saigal sang for himself.
The last song that I am giving you was sung by Rajkumari; if DN Madhok was among the first generation of lyricists, Rajkumari was also among the first generation of singers.
Munawar Sultana was an actress who was contemporary with Noor Jahan, Swaran Lata and Ragini. She was the actress of Shakeel Badayuni’s first song ever in Hindi movies, that of 1947 movie Dard: Afsana likh rahi hoon.
Khemchand Prakash composed the following songs:
Lets listen to what I feel is the best song of the movie sung by Sulochana Kadam.
This song was sung by Shamshad Begum who had more than 1200 songs to her credit.
Lets listen to the title songs of the movie sung by Geeta Dutt. In this movie, to a young Geeta Dutt (18 years old), Gyan Dutt gave her seven solos to sing and Gyan Dutt was a name to reckon during those days.
In 1942 Zevar was one such movie.
Sharda was the next movie in 1942. And now we are back with Naushad. It is an AR Kardar movie starring Ulhas, Mehtab, Nirmala, Badri Prasad, Pratimabai, S Baburao, Amir Bano, Shyam Kumar, and Vasti.
Before we reluctantly move away from Naushad Ali who composed these beautiful songs, here is a delightful song sung by Suraiya.
Lets set the ball rolling with a song sung by Shamim.
Zeenat Begum, as I already told you before, was a Kothewali (courtesan) and a discovery of Pandit Amarnath in 1937. In 1951 she migrated to Pakistan.
The first song that I give you is a memorable song; a duet between Suraiya and Mukesh. Motilal was a distant relative to Mukesh and had given a break to Mukesh in 1941 as Actor-Singer in the movie Nirdosh (Dil hi bujha hua ho to). In 1945 movie Pehli Nazar, Mukesh became the playback singer voice for Motilal (with his first song as playback singer composed by Anil Biswas: Dil jalta hai to jalne de).
We shall take up the first two sung by Zeenat Begum.
The second song that I have selected for you was sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali; this being the first time she sang DN Madhok’s lyrics.
Today, we shall be completing three weeks with DN Madhok. And, on this auspicious occasion of Holi, we have M Sadiq’s 1944 movie Ratan starring Karan Dewan, Swarna Lata, Amir Bano, Basant Kumar, Chanda, Gulab, Manju, Badri Prasad, and Vasti.
Here is the fifth song. This was sung by Karan Dewan for himself.
Bela was a Chaturbhujh Doshi movie starring Jairaj, Nigar Sultana, Rekha, P T Iqbal, S N Tripathi, Usha B R Sharma, and Mast Mohd.
Noor Jehan was born on 23 Sep 1926 and hence she was only 14 years old when she acted and sang in this movie. She had begun her career as a child artiste in 1935 Punjabi movie Pind Di Kudi and hence this role was her first adult role before she acted as the main lead opposite Pran in the 1942 movie Khandan.
Today, we start with a delightful song sung by Khursheed Bano. The video is of course not from this movie.
After a long absence due to my sickness, I am somewhat back and we started off with songs of the 1942 movie Khandaan that were composed by Ghulam Haider.
And now we have a song sung by Shamshad Begum.
Hence, my second choice of song, from the 1942 movie Mehman is the one sung by Rajkumari.
Here is now the eagerly awaited song sung by singing star Suraiya; the first one by her with DN Madhok.
Now for the first time in the career of Deena Nath Madhok that started with the 1932 movie Radhey Shyam, I am excited to tell you that his next movie in 1943: Kanoon was an Abdul Rashid Kardar movie.
For the second song I have selected one sung by Nirmala Devi.
After W#04 song Ab ke baras bhej bhaiya ko babul wherein, in a jail for murder, the song (though not lip-synced by her) spoke accurately about her emotions. Ditto with this hymn sung by Manna Dey in the 1955 Amiya Chakravarty movie Seema starring Nutan and Balraj Sahni.
The story is about this young girl Gauri (Nutan) who is ill treated by her aunt after she becomes an orphan, is wrongly accused of stealing a necklace, is rebellious, and often misunderstood until she takes shelter under kind-hearted Balraj Sahni (Ashok) in Shree Satyanand Anathalaya. Some of the songs that helped progress the story and her emotions are:
Dev Anand as Keshav in 1964 Raj Rishi movie Sharabi didn’t have to be Corona positive to kill himself; he had liquor and he was, in the movie, on a path of self-destruction faster than any virus could. He had promised to reform (most drunkards do it and such resolves of theirs are often inscribed on the tombstones). However, if Hindi movies are to be believed, all (without exception) drunkards, prostitutes (or courtesans) and dacoits are merely victims of circumstances.
The song is from the 1956 movie Basant Bahaar and its lyrics are a marvel produced by the great Shailendra and its composition is by my favourite music duo: Shankar Jaikishan. Its raag is Jhinjhoti and tal is Tintal.
Kumkum was also born Zaibunnissa in Hussainabad, Sheikhpura Bihar. She was the discovery of Guru Dutt (as was Waheeda Rehman) and the CID song Ye hai Bombay meri jaan was picturised on her.
In the last song and elsewhere many times before, I have mentioned that the most memorable songs of Lata Mangeshkar were composed by her bhaiya Madan Mohan. These were penned either by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan or by Rajinder Krishan.
Adornment of music makes the lyrics come alive and add to their meaning. You have to give it to S-J, as always that their composition and music help you complete the picture of the protagonist’s emotions, in this case Rajendra Kumar. No one could have done a better job.
In such a scenario, I think, Rajinder Krishan can be excused for letting the hero (Biswajeet) notice on the wet body of the heroine (Rajshree), of all the things, Zulf. Many around the world would say: “Hair today, gone tomorrow.” But, as far as Indians are concerned hair are here to stay forever and ever.
Ravi was one music director who learnt music by observation but managed to learn far better than those formally trained. What is more he even learnt Hindustani classical music and many of his songs are raaga based. This one is in Raag Pilu or Peelu, Tal Kaherava. Pilu is, as it is a raag of devotion and piety and if you look at the hero Biswajeet, you would notice that he is full of these two feelings and not seduction which would be the case, say, in Shammi Kapoor’s song Is rang badalti duniya mein insaan ki neeyat theek nahin (Hasrat – Shankar Jaikishan – Mohammad Rafi) or Joy Mukherjee singing to Asha Parekh: Aa ja re aa zara (Love In Tokyo).
This 1964 movie was produced and directed by SD Narang and is not based on a musical instrument or on the lifetime of a musician. On the other hand, the film is about n IAF pilot’s widow who goes through hardship and loneliness in order to fulfil her husband’s last wish to make her son an Air Force pilot. It is anybody’s guess as to why they named it Shehnai!
Tonight we take up the eleventh lyricist DN Madhok’s creation. Dina Nath Madhok, as most of you would be aware, is from the trio called ‘first generation of lyricists’ that also included Kavi Pradeep and Kidar Sharma.
The name of the 1940 movie was Prem Nagar that starred Prof Ramanand and Husna Banu (they sang for themselves). Here are the songs that Naushad composed in his first movie on the lyrics of DN Madhok:
Chronologically, his first movie as lyricist was 88 years ago, in the year 1932. The name of the movie was Radhey Shyam, directed by Anand Prasad Kapoor and Roshan Lal Shorey. It starred: Khurshid Begum, Sunita Devi, Mohan and Radha.
His next movie in 1940 was a Jayant Desai movie Aaj Ka Hindustan starring Prithviraj Kapoor, Rose, Sitara Devi, Ishwarlal, Noor Mohammad Charlie. Except for Prithviraj Kapoor, they all sang for themselves.
He wrote the following songs that were composed by Khemchand Prakash.
When we were boys, we were not allowed to watch Shammi Kapoor movies. He enacted his romantic roles with such intensity that we would tend to believe that Love and Romance were the two most important objectives of life. On top of that, he enacted the title roles of bad sounding names such as Bluff-Master, Budtameez, Janwar, Laat Sahib and even Pagla Kahin Ka.
Mohammad Rafi had a great talent in that he could sing for his heroes in the style of the hero and not in any characteristic Rafi style. Hence, when he sang for Shammi Kapoor, these songs instantly became Shammi Kapoor songs and less Rafi songs. As an example, if you listen to Kashmir Ki Kali’s Deewana hua baadal, you feel as if Shammi is actually singing.
I thought I would steer clear from their Raaga based songs since on my blog I have quite a few of them under ‘Raaga Based Song of the Day’. Indeed, my first two posts are of both Hasrat Jaipuri and Shankar Jaikishan: 
There is a saying that ‘When the going gets tough, the tough get going’. I have often been teased and taunted because of my devotion towards my sisters in the YKDN family. No more; because, my sisters came to our rescue. My behna Manik Lakhkar Chava came up with an idea that a Fest could be held on Video Conferencing. And who was there to execute this idea? Well, my sister Suman Saxena. Even though Manik was already networking with her larger family on Zoom, 
Suman suggested that Zoom wasn’t a reliable application. She suggested Go To Meeting and diligently went about inviting and netting people to a Fest on Video Conferencing on Sunday, 26 Apr 20.
The Fest would be an occasion to pay homage to Jaswant Singh Lagwal whom we lost prematurely and tragically on 25 Mar 20. He is survived by his wife Kavita (who has often cut the YKDN cake during our meets, she being the youngest) and sons Niraj and Pankaj.
He started writing lyrics for songs with the 1945 movie Samrat Chandragupta. It was with his 17th movie in 1951: Malhar that he finally got recognition with the song: Bade armaano se rakha hai balam teri kasam, a song picturised on Arjun Bakshi and Shammi.
Namak was the first of the two movies having his songs in the year 1947. Once again, Indeevar wrote all five songs for the movie that were composed by Naresh Chandra and Shyam Babu Pathak:
Both the songs of Indeevar were sung by Sulochana Kadam. What do you know about her? You must listen to her song Wo aaye hain dil ko karaar aa gaya that was written by Farooq Qaiser and composed by Krishna Dayal for the 1953 movie Malika Salomi. In Nainital it was sung at the same spot where a number of songs have been sung; eg Zara sun haseena e nazneen in Raag Pahadi and the Gumrah song Tujhako mera pyar pukare.
After the 1951 movie Malhar in which Indeevar had his first hit song: Bade armaano se rakha hai balam teri kasam, this was the second movie in which he paired with Roshan. Out of the ten songs of the movie, Indeevar wrote five of them:
The first one was a duet between Geeta Dutt and Mohammad Rafi and it is worth listening to it. She starts only with the second stanza. Please forgive me for the audio quality. Yet it is an immortal song.
His next movie in 1953, his last one that year, was Aagosh. There were eight songs in the movie composed by Roshan (Indeevar’s third movie with him): Two by Indeevar, four by Shailendra and one each by Kaif Irfani and Uddhav Kumar:
For the first time in his career he paired with Chitragupt and they made the following eight songs:
This movie had seven songs composed by Kalyanji Anandji. There was only one written by Indeevar but lately you would have seen how surely and steadily Indeevar is moving with Kalyanji Anandji.
His next movie was Parasmani, a Babubhai Mitra movie starring Mahipal and Geetanjali with excellent songs composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal. The best song of the movie Woh jab yaad aaye bahut yaad aaye was penned by Asad Bhopali.
